As a purely factual consideration, to those who often say that Patsy would have to have been an Oscar-winning actress to pull off tears and the performance of a grieving mother, I have to note that every single day, B-movie, C-movie, and even lesser actresses can squeeze out tears against a green screen when they are expected to look like they are being attacked by aliens. Tears are not unique to true victims. Tears can also be wrung from people who are simply acting, and let us not forget that Patsy won a pageant title worth thousands of dollars and two thousand dollars from the Miss America competition all the way back in 1977, just because she was a good actress. When a 21-year-old woman has talent in acting, it does not just suddenly leave her permanently because she has gotten married and had children.
